Artistic Wrapping Paper

finger painted wrapping paper

Saw your tips on the Today Show for gift wrap. I have a similar idea. 

When my boys were young (now 19 and 16) they loved to paint pictures so I bought them the paper from office supply stores that comes in easel pads and when they were done with the pictures we used it for wrapping paper. They loved telling everyone that they had made the paper.

Fire Starters

My son makes firestarters from old cardboard egg cartons. Sometimes grocery stores will give you cardboard holders, but they are really cheap online. He first buys candles at a thrift store in our area..(go when it's 50% off day) then melts them down over the fire. Then, he adds sawdust or dryer lint to the bottom of the egg carton and pours the melted candle wax over each compartment. It is easy to just tear off the individual fire starters when needed...and they work great!

Paint from "OOPS" Mountain

Home Depot, OOOps, paint, returned, returns, wrong color,

If you know you have a painting job coming up, start scouting out the “oops” shelf at Home Depot. This is where unused, returned paint is sold at a steep discount. The paint is usually returned because the tint didn’t work for the person who purchased it. You can often find a suitable color for just $5 per gallon!!! Many times matching quart cans of trim paint can be had for only $3.

Take a Swing At These Ideas

pinata, christmas, tree, candy,

Some Christmas gift ideas we have made in the past. A fun family gift is to make a pinata, and fill it with coins wrapped in foil, cookie cuttercandies, and little trinkets. Another gift is to find 2 or 3 cute cookie cutters and wrap them with a bottle of sprinkles and your favorite sugar cookie recipe.
